Hoosier Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 This thread is for the near term heavy rain threat and subsequent river flooding that is going to take place in the coming days. Going to see 1-2" rain amounts over a wide area with local 3+" totals possible. Many rivers have been running low but much of the rain is likely to run off and cause large rises given that only a portion of the soil is expected to thaw.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2 It happens in the city quite often because a lot of streets have poor drainage. I already know on some blocks there will be cars encased in 12"+ of ice.
